Auction this Sunday!

35 Watene Road

Mount Wellington, Auckland

The countdown is on to the auction for this almost cricket-pitch sized property with a four-bedroom, smartly renovated 1950s brick home as its centrepiece. A full flat section of 921m (more or less), there's room in the garden to bowl a ball, play with the dog or consider putting in a pool to make a summertime splash.

The ground floor, comprising a huge rumpus living area with wood fireplace and heat pump, two bedrooms and a bathroom, is the ideal place for teenagers to have their friends around in a separate hangout space away from the adults. Head on upstairs to be greeted by near new carpet, original native timber polished floors and loads of all-day sunshine creating a warm, light filled interior. The spacious living includes another heat pump, doors to a massive deck at one end and a versatile sun room facing the front garden at the other. The family dining room flanks a smart open plan kitchen with loads of cabinetry and a small bar leaner. The master bedroom opens on to the spacious deck, great built in wardrobes and shares a bathroom with the other double bedroom on this level.

A double tandem garage and masses of storage, a man/woman cave for pottering, and off-street parking for 4 more vehicles, a boat or camper, the property is zoned Residential Mixed Housing Suburban under the Auckland Unitary Plan, so there's scope to develop further. In a quiet street close to Sylvia Park Mall and the nearby walkway for a stroll around Panmure Basin, this fabulous family residence is sure to bowl you over but be quick or you'll be knocked out of the park!
